At Jihad Watch I just posted information about a remarkable story in which the radical Muslim group Hizb-ut-Tahrir discloses its aims.
In the story, this organization shows that the laws of dhimmitude are very much part of the radical Muslim program. This is how non-Muslims would be treated in a Hizb-ut-Tahrir state -- and everything in this list is taken straight from traditional manuals of Islamic Sharia law:
1. "Within the Caliphate, Christians and Jews would be allowed to drink alcohol, if that was required for religious rituals, and to regulate within their own communities marriage, divorce and the assignment of possessions."
This is Sharia "tolerance." But read on: laws mandating inequality on a large scale would also be in place.
2. "Islamic Sharia law would be imposed on all and faiths not mentioned in the Koran would be banned."
3. "Ideally it was said, all the countries of the world would join the caliphate although Hizb-ut-Tahir plans to allow non-Muslim countries, such as the United States and the United Kingdom, not to join the caliphate provided that they pay a tax to it. They would then fall under the protection of the caliphate and it would defend their interests. If non-Muslim countries refused to pay the tax, the caliphate would launch military attacks against them."
This is referring to the jizya, the special tax on non-Muslims, by which they buy their "protection." It is designed to make non-Muslims feel "subdued" under Islamic law. It is the focus of an elaborate legal superstructure, and is ultimately based on the Qur'an's Sura 9:29: "Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued."
4. "In the caliphate itself Christian and Jewish communities would be permitted because, according to the Koran, adherents of these religions are 'people of the Book'. Other religions, including Buddhism, Hinduism and the Hare Krishna faith, would be considered pagan sects and would be banned."
Throughout history, Muslim rulers have treated Buddhists and Hindus even worse than they treated Jews and Christians, because the former are not "People of the Book."
5. "In particular, the caliphate's leadership would oppose what it regards as sects within Islam itself (including Ahmadiyya, Bahai'ism and Ismailism). In Hizb-ut-Tahrir's view, the only true Muslims are those who adhere to the four Madhabs {i.e. the four separate schools of legal interpretation within Shariah law). Those who depart from the Madhabs would be considered as apostates and liable to punishment according to Islamic law."
Note that almost 90 percent of the world's Muslims adhere to one of the 4 madhhabs. Hizb-ut-Tahrir thus envisions itself as a mainstream group.
6. "All citizens in the caliphate would have to abide by Sharia law when outside their homes. For example, all women would have to wear long dresses and scarves when in public places. However, Hizb-ut-Tahir members told Forum 18 that in Christian and Jewish quarters women could wear clothes permitted by the laws of their own religion."
"In Christian and Jewish quarters!"
Meanwhile, "one Uzbek member of Hizb-ut-Tahrir expressed his regret to Forum 18 that Hitler had not succeeded in eliminating all Jews."
Note also: this illegal group has "thousands" of members in prison, and who know how many operating freely today.
I also seem to recall that the Dhimmi's were required to wear something yellow to distinguish them from Muslims. According to one "scholar" this was not discrimination but for their own protection.
One thing I have found is that many people have a very difficult time believing that a totalitarian ideology --like Islam which is extremely similar to what Hitler proposed (he refers to doing "G-d's" more than once in Mein Kampf) could EVER become the reality.
It is the "it can never happen again" which has, unforutnately led to blindness to the reality that it was happening. That it has been happening long before 9/11.
I have a message from the "radical" group of freethinkers (monkeys and pigs) called the United States for the group Hizb-ut-Tahrir and it is this:
We too (The English speaking Anglos of the world) have a plan for global domination. Under our rule, we will spread freedom and capitalism to all the nations of the world. We will treat their peoples as equals and afford them the protection of the mightiest military God has even known. We will do this not for conquest, not for religion, not to dominate and rule, but to better ourselves and pursue freedom, because we wish it. That is to say, our empire is motivated by the desire for betterment and not by the inane teachings of an ancient moon demon god. The protectorate nations under the American-Anglo empire will be free to act as they wish, worship as they wish to whom they wish, if they wish, to enact their own laws, by their own elected representatives, and to participate in all activates free from oppression and tyranny. We will not charge racially or religiously motivated taxes to our protectorate nation states, but will instead, ask them, from time to time, to help spread the message of freedom, capitalism, and life for life’s sake.
You see, you terrorist loving swine, we, the English speaking Anglo peoples of the world, have a superior empire to yours and we will not tolerate your rule and oppression and I deliver, to you, this warning:
Bring It On!
A global caliphate sounds like hell on Earth to me.
It is stunning to finally learn about how the Muslim radicals plan on taking over the world. It is exactly the method used by Islamic invaders in the 700's who tore through Byzantine North Africa.
At that point the Roman Empire was very corrupt, morally bankrupt, and the Eastern Church forced oppresive taxes on the population. In some ways, paying a reduced tax to an Islamic ruler was an improvement over the Church. It created a situation that made it easy for Islam to spread.
One way of resisting this oppression is to keep ourselves morally relevant, and free. Freedom isn't free. It requires constant vigilence.
Never mind about radical Muslim groups. Consider the Cairo Declaration on Human Rights in Islam that serves as a general guidance for Member States if the Islamic Conference in the Field of human rights. It reeks of this sort of thing:
Sec. 5(a): The family is the foundation of society, and marriage is the basis of making a family. Men and women have the right to marriage, and no restrictions stemming from race, colour or nationality shall prevent them from exercising this right.
(hmmm, what's missing from that enumeration?)
Sec. 7(b): Parents and those in such like capacity have the right to choose the type of education they desire for their children, provided they take into consideration the interest and future of the children in accordance with ethical values and the principles of the Shari'ah.
Art. 12: Every man shall have the right, within the framework of the Shari'ah, to free movement . . . .
Sec. 22(a): Everyone shall have the right to express his opinion freely in such manner as would not be contrary to the principles of the Shari'ah.
Sec. 22(b): Everyone shall have the right to advocate what is right, and propagate what is good, and warn against what is wrong and evil according to the norms of Islamic Shari'ah.
Shari'ah, including dhimmitude, is the official human rights policy of the Islamic states!
very interesting your web-site , I am very concerned about christians treatment espescially in Egypt since I grew up there as a catholic .
I found your web-site from a Wash Times article
about Islam , is there anything to do to improve the situation there?
What is Dhimmitude anyway ?
I know Muslims converting to christiannity is a mojor problem in Egypt , even just being chritian is dangerous these days over there, I have seen it first hand .
If somebody says that Islam is tolerant , let them go live there in the middle east for one year as a citizen of that country not as an american or european Please , spare me the sympathy expressed in our american Media that is run by leftover hippies from the sixties , CNN and
CBS , ABC and co.
I Think Khilafat can liberate the oppressed people of the world. In the past Khilafat system prevailed before 1924 was a sanctuary for the people irrespective of religion.So if it come again it willl be able to resist the American Imperialism.
